At some levels there already is one IT firm that controls all the outside contracted IT services that the state buys and that is a major problem for any honest IT business trying to do business with the state. Somehow the firm that the state hired to manage the relationships with outside IT Service organizations, only selects candidates from a number of Independent IT firms that appear (from my point of view) to have an incestual relationship with each other. So I’d say it’s not an answer.

Reduce the tolls by 50%. Reduce the total work force of State Employees by 50%. Cut lose all state hired consultants and get the state budget under control. Create a State that employers want to locate to. NJ has hired a consulting firm to manage the state contracting and hiring of all other consulting firms doing work in the state, What's wrong with that picture? That can't possible go wrong or lead to featherbedding.

Here's a thought guys, suppose both papers got it wrong, and he was attempting to land on 32, screwed the poch on the crosswind correction, was a bit fast on his return (as he offten appears to be) and went off the runway as a result of "loss of directional control", folded up the nose gear on a fix Gear 182. That way noone is an idiot and until the FAA puts out the word on it, no one knows for sure.

It’s worst then that, the published 9.6% does not reflect the thousands of self-employed who ‘s business failed and are now unemployed. I was self- employed for 38 years, had to pay NJ UI , it’s the law, but was unable to collect when my business failed and I was unemployed. If your self employed, you can’t collect UI. Never collected a dime. I was out of work over 4 years. Had to liquidate all my assets. Lost everything, seemed like no one wanted to hire a 60 year old, now 64, out of work Systems Manager . Lost my business, my health insurance, my home, my life changed and not in a good way. It’s all gone. A life time of savings. At 62 I was forced to take Social Security and because I took it early the government took one third for themselves. I now have three part time jobs and I’m averaging $9.00 per hour between all three and work between 50 and 60 hours a week. You want fries with that?

I don’t have problem with the camera on the lights. I don’t run red lights, I drive the posted speed limits and I have no problem stopping in time when the light changes from green to yellow to red.
I do have an issue with property taxes and lawyer. Now let’s say that all these class action suites get to court and some judge decides that yes, the towns didn’t follow state law and the lights are not legal and therefore the tickets are not valid and oh yea, all the fines that each town collected and spent, now has to be returned.
Where is the town going to get the money from? Perhaps a tax? Does everyone who hates the red light camera’s , go to their town meetings and complain? Did you even vote in the last election. Did you tell the town Fathers not to spend the money on the camera in the first place.
The people we elected to act on our behalf bought and had the cameras installed because they thought that yes, it would generate income for the town that was not a direct burden to the property owners. Isn’t that what we elected them to do in the first place?
I say number one, keep the camera and get it serviced, certified and whatever is necessary to meet the requirements of the laws of the state of New Jersey.
People, you don’t have to worry about getting a ticket if you obey the traffic laws. If you are not obeying the traffic laws, I hope you get a ticket.
Right now the only one getting rich are the lawyers . The same lawyers that advised the local town councils to install the camera’s, the same lawyers that advertise to defend the ticketed drivers, the same lawyers that assist in certifying the length of the yellow light, the same lawyers that will now certify the lights, the same lawyers that invoice the local town councils for big fat retainer.
What you have with a 1000 lawyers chained together on the bottom of the ocean?

If this is true "The report concluded that Paterno, president Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz "failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade."

"In order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at the university -- Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley -- repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse," the report said." and we all know it is. Why are these guys not being arrested for conspiring to commit child abuse and everyone other crime against these kids that these guys helped to occure??????????????????????

Not sure what everyone is complaining about, there are lots of jobs out there. I have three of them myself. Total I’m almost making $20.00 per hour, sure it’s a long day, but I was able to pay for my wife’s prescription and I get to bring home the leftovers from one of my jobs, they don’t seem to mind and when you mix it in with the cat food , it’s actually pretty good.
